Geraniol has a relatively high vapor pressure and gives off a dilute vapor into the air stream which acts as an area repellent. This helps repel insects before they land. The natural tendency of Geraniol to evaporate makes it work as the active ingredient in wristbands, plastic beads, and other Bite Shield products. University of Florida. Professor J. Butler, Department of Entomology, tested many thousands of compounds and found that specific molecules of Geraniol demonstrated broad based insect repelling capabilities.
